Cheryl, my deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your family as you celebrate your Father's long and full life. You were such an amazingly beautiful and faithful daughter to your sweet Father. "The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Won." His Eternal Journey has begun. May the Choirs of Angels come to greet him and take him to the new and eternal Jerusalem where there will be no more weeping or wailing or gnashing of teeth! God rest his sweet soul. I love you.
